I had this same issue, where giving the oven more space and airflow caused the problem to "go away". I kept digging and posted the eventual (cheap!) fix here: http://appliancejunk.com.../index.php?topic=18378.0Hope this helps someone if they (like me) find this thread looking for answers...

"Sounds like you have a connection problem"
That's what I was thinking,
"Your problem may never show up again.
The odds are against it but it does happen."
I know. Over the years I've come to realize that things just don't "go away" or fix themselves.
Thanks for the advice.

Sounds like you have a connection problem.
The sensor is a positive temperature devices : re the resistance increases as temperature increases so if you have a bad connection to a sensor the unit will think it has overheated. May even be a bad solder joint or cracked circuit trail on the board.
Your problem may never show up again.
The odds are against it but it does happen.
In any case without seeing a fault you cannot fix the problem.

Here's the topper! We have continued to use both ovens for actual food prep and no codes/alarms. So rather than spend $240+ maybe the fix is to just pull the range out take off the back, put it back and push the range back in. :) I can do that say once a month or so since I'm retired and have a limited income with plenty of time!:D :D Whadya think?

Hi Dan,
Now I'm frustrated. I pulled the stove out and took off the back so that I would be able to check the resistance of the sensor since the only time it throws a code is when the oven is on and hot. Now I've had both ovens on together and seaprately, and no codes/alarms!
I did check resistance at the different temps on both sensors as the ovens cooled down from 450 and they both matched specs. So any ideas or do I just go and buy a electronic control?

Quote:Would you still check the sensor? Definitely. While there's only a slim chance it is the cause it is one of the only things that can actually be checked for your possible error message. Quote:how is the [control board] checked? It can't be AFAIK. Its failure is usually just assumed once any other possibilities are ruled out. JMO Dan O. www.Appliance411.com

Hi Dan,
OK, I'm sorry but now i'm confused. What would you check first? Would you still check the sensor? The control board? (how is that checked?)
Thanks,
Charles

Quote:Does that point more to the membrane panel? I never said that was a possibility in any case. It would be the electronic control circuit board that would be suspect if the oven was not overheating. I don't think a failed sensor would produce that error if the oven was not in use at the time... but might still be a possibility. JMO Dan O. www.Appliance411.com

Dan,
As a quick follow up to my note, after shutting off the code alarm a1/2 hour later it started beeping again. Membrane panel still warm from the upper oven?
